Description

The New-RDRemoteApp cmdlet publishes a Windows Server 2012 RemoteApp program to a Remote Desktop deployment, making it available to users.

RemoteApp allows Remote Desktop Services (RDS) to run a program remotely that appears as if it runs locally on a client computer. A RemoteApp program runs in its own resizable window and has its own entry on the taskbar.

Examples

Example 1: Publish a RemoteApp program

PS C:\> New-RDRemoteApp -CollectionName "Session Collection" -DisplayName "Notepad" -FilePath "C:\Windows\System32\Notepad.exe"

This command creates a new RemoteApp program in the collection named Session Collection. The command specifies the display name Notepad and uses the .exe file at the specified file path.

Example 2: Publish a RemoteApp program with a required argument

PS C:\> New-RDRemoteApp -CollectionName "Virtual Desktop Collection" -DisplayName "Bing" -FilePath "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -VirtualDesktopName "RDS-WKS-A27" -CommandLineSetting Require -RequiredCommandLine "https://www.bing.com"

This command publishes a RemoteApp to the collection named Virtual Desktop Collection. The command specifies the display name Bing and uses the .exe file at the specified file path. The command specifies the virtual desktop name RDS-WKS-A27. This command uses a required command line argument. This RemoteApp opens the specified browser to go to the specified URL.
